In the enterprise, there is a group of people whose fate is rarely mentioned: laborers. This group of people plays a marginalized role in state-owned enterprises, and their survival status is full of helplessness and sorrow. They do not have a formal staffing and often sign labor contracts rather than informal labor contracts. In the early days of reform and opening up, the labor system came into being, providing a flexible employment mechanism for enterprises. Today, however, this system has become a tragic label for a group of marginalized groups in state-owned enterprises.
The living conditions of laborers
Low incomeCompared with regular employees, the income of labor workers is generally lower. They don't have a stable salary system and tend to calculate their earnings based on the amount of work and hours they work. In the same position, a laborer may earn half as much as a regular employee or even less. In addition, they also face problems such as unstable income, no overtime allowance, and lack of year-end bonuses. Lack of social securityAs non-regular employees, labor workers are seriously deficient in social security. They are often not included in the country's social security system, such as pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. When faced with illness, job loss, or retirement, their lives will be in trouble. Career development is restricted, and the career development space of labor workers in state-owned enterprises is extremely limited. They tend to work in grassroots, heavy lifting, and have little chance of promotion. Even if some workers perform well at work, it is difficult for them to get rid of their status as contract workers and enjoy the treatment of regular employees. Suffering from discrimination and exclusion in state-owned enterprises, workers are often discriminated against and marginalized. They are treated unfairly within the enterprise, such as overtime, shared responsibilities, etc. In addition, they face sexual harassment in the workplace and wage deductions.
The reality of marginalization
Institutional reasonsThe existence of labor workers is closely related to China's employment system, and its reasons mainly stem from the historical background and practical needs. In the process of China's reform and opening up and the development of the market economy, some state-owned enterprises have certain problems in terms of employment. In terms of human resource management, these enterprises are faced with problems such as bloated personnel and low efficiency. In order to meet the requirements of the market economy and improve the efficiency of enterprises, these enterprises began to seek flexible employment methods, so that labor service has become an important form of enterprise employment. Social labor workers are often engaged in grassroots work in state-owned enterprises, and their professional status is low and they lack the right to speak. This makes it difficult for them to make their voices heard within the enterprise, making it difficult for society to pay attention to their existence.
In addition, the nature of their work makes it easy for them to neglect their living conditions. Some laborers need to engage in heavy and boring manual labor, and the working environment is harsh and the living conditions are relatively poor. However, these conditions often fail to attract widespread attention, and society pays more attention to high-income, high-status groups. Although in recent years, there have been reports of violations of workers' rights, such as wage arrears, overtime work, and lack of labor protection, but on the whole, their living conditions are still rarely mentioned. This status quo is not conducive to the protection of the rights and interests of laborers, and also affects social harmony and stability. Difficulties in protecting rightsLaborers face many difficulties in protecting their rights. First of all, they have a low status in the enterprise and lack the right to speak; secondly, due to the status of contract workers, it is difficult for them to enjoy the legal protection of regular employees; Finally, some workers are afraid to make their demands clear for fear of losing their jobs.
